Legion

if your god got it right

for once in this life

I wouldn’t need words

to convince you tonight

I wouldn’t need hands

to trace supple curve

I’d bend and then blend

every sinew and nerve

my mind would be yours

my will would be known

marrow would melt

and bleed out of bone

our sky would be scarlet

our ground would be gray

the wolves in our night

would be held at bay

Love would be legion

wars would be won

the poison you drank

would now be undone

if your god could see us

as we are today

she'd be the one

kneeling to pray
